We have a bunch of catch-all codes as well. They come in handy in a pinch.

I quoted the sign I see all the time. It doesn't list CVC

Related, what does it take to cite a vehicle for CVC 5204??? I'm constantly calling CHP(they service my hood for traffic) and letting them know about "abandoned" vehicles with no current registration stickers

It can be one day expired and I can still cite for expired tags (...well, that's often the case anyway; enforcement typically applies to the beginning of the month following expiration), although I personally wouldn't unless it's 30+ days expired.

So if I put a piece of yellow tape on the year side and get a sharpie and write a block 19, I'm still cool, right???

Funny you mentioned that. A partner of mine caught somebody doing something similar a few weeks ago. He had the car towed because of how long the registration had been expired.

I told the dispatcher when I called. I can only assume she told the officer. They still put a 72-hour sticker

The trust in my parenting skills is epic.



My oldest got 2 hours of detention today. The kid had ran off to the library in the middle of the school day.

"We caught her sneaking off the school grounds and when she was given a note for it with the punishment, she said she'll be at the library if anyone needs her."

I called the little punk since the teacher called me.

"Well I already got the maximum penalty, why the hell not commit the crime to the full extent then?"

I called the teacher back and told her that i cant argue against the logic and that in 2.5 years theyll be rid of the little shit.

I'm fully expecting some shootout and chase policy questions considering the Miami incident.

[premier3is]

do you guys listen to music in the cruiser while on patrol? Or is there a restriction on not being allowed to use your stereo?

Most of the newer patrol cars have radios and navigation, but the radios were removed from older vehicles to keep officers focused. There's probably some policy about it buried somewhere, but I'm unaware of it. Rarely does anybody listen to it.

From the recent news: What are your thoughts on the Miami incident and how would YOU have handled it if you were in charge. A lot was wrong, if not everything about that situation. Just curious to what you think.

We quarterbacked it a bit in the thread created in Off Topic.


About That Bonkers Crazy Shootout in Rush Hour Traffic in Miami https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1675826


I can't really say what I would've or could've done that would've changed the outcome, but I'll tell you this much....


...if a criminal is shooting at me, I'm shooting back....backdrop and beyond considered of course. That situation was ugly and there really was no other alternative but to end the threat when the chase terminated. It was very unfortunate. It's one of those situations where everybody involved will reflect on their individual involvement and wonder what they could've done differently/better to potentially save the lives of the innocent.

Given the stupidity of the elected turnips in Sacramento, I'd be afraid to bring this topic up so they don't take away your guns and patrol cars!

Seriously though, how will you handle a similar situation in the future, when you are only equipped with an environmentally-friendly can of unicorn repellent spray and your patrol vehicle is a solar-powered Bird scooter? The TV ratings for news chopper police chases will surely suffer.....

My wife is a High School teacher and I read her your response above.

She said to tell you that you are awesome!

And wished more parents seen things that way instead of immediately blaming the teacher.

And glad her kid isn't enrolling in a South Carolina HS?

I dropped a donation on the UPS driver's GoFundMe page, to help out his wife and 1-year old child. That driver never signed up for the horror he had to go through, so I'm happy to help out. I was a Teamster once upon a time, after all.

I'm the child of two high school teachers. Anytime I pulled any shit at school, which was pretty rare, they were on me like a wet dress on a fat girl.

On a good day, around 450 lbs. for a rep or two; deadlift at 500 lbs. for three reps. Not too bad for my 5'10, 190 lb. frame. Are you still lifting these days?
